The most notable of which is the cat scene... “Badiya’s Boys” between criticism and praise

The Syrian series “Walad Badia” has achieved great success and wide audience since it began airing during the Ramadan 2024 season, but despite the great success and repercussions achieved by this work, it has been subjected to some criticism from some actors and critics.

Journalists and artists criticize “Oulad Badiaa” Lebanese critic Jamal Fayyad commented on the work, saying that the work does not move the mind of the Arab viewer because the director used plastic plates to serve sweets at “Mukhtar Al-Dabbagh’s” purity party in the 1950s, while these plates did not exist at that time.

For her part, director Rasha Sharbatji responded: “Sorry, the work began in 1990, not in the 1950s. Mukhtar Al-Dabbagh was born in 1990.”

One of the pioneers of social media commented on Jamal Fayyad’s criticism of the series and said: “Mr. Jamal... I am sure that you fully attended the episode of the series and understood the time difference between the two periods, and paid attention to the details of the present and past tenses, or just went rogue and saw the scene and assumed that it was in the past, or confused between it and Taj series?

She added: "If you follow all the cars and all the details, you will find the beginning of the nineties. Greetings."

Actress Noura Al-Ayek also commented on the scene of hanging cats, in which the child “Mukhtar” appeared hanging cats. The Syrian actress commented on this scene, saying: “The scene of hanging cats was not necessary, there are many ways in which it is clear that this person is mentally ill without the need for it.” "It is repulsive cruelty."

She added: “And what upset me is that Rasha Sharbatji loves animals, and I saw this thing with my own eyes, and no one told me it means the blame and the shock are greater, and as we know, *art is a message* and if I love these creatures, people are supposed to love this (natural) behavior, especially since I have a big platform these days.” ".

One of the followers commented on Noura Al-Ayek’s post: “But Rasha posted a full clip on Instagram about how they filmed the hanging of the cats, but without harming any of them.” Another commented: “I’m with you, but to be honest, she put a warning at the beginning of the episode that the chair that followed the cats was done under the supervision of doctors.” "The specialists and the animals were not harmed."

As the Lebanese journalist Rabih Farran wrote about the series “Wulad Badia”: “Wulad Badia is a story infused with Egyptian drama that has been eaten up and consumed for a long time, and the script suffers from goofing off and on. Followers are amazed by the success and uniqueness of Mrs. Rasha Sharbatji...the important thing is that a director of the caliber of Rasha Sharbatji does not succeed.” After more than 25 years in the world of directing.”

Some social media pioneers commented on this post, supporting the work and declaring their happiness with the work and following it. One of the comments was: “The Badia Boys series is a wonderful series, and the proof is that Top One is in Canada, Germany, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq... a wonderful story and wonderful direction.”
